Steven Tyler

Steven Victor Tallarico (26 March 1948-), better known as Steven Tyler, was an American singer, songwriter, musician, and actor. He was born in Manhattan, New York City and raised in The Bronx and Yonkers, and, during the 1970s, he rose to prominence as the lead singer of Aerosmith. His band released several hit hard rock singles such as "Walk This Way", "Dream On", and "Sweet Emotion", but the band's popularity waned during the early 1980s as Tyler struggled with drug and alcohol abuse. However, a collaboration with Run-D.M.C. on a remake of "Walk This Way" in 1986 led to Aerosmith launching a remarkable comeback. Tyler and his band became enduring rock icons, and he was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2013. Tyler was a registered Republican, but he was opposed to Donald Trump using "Dream On" as a campaign song during the 2016 presidential election.
